10 Inappropriate Things Marvel And DC Want You To Forget

6. Superman Makes A Porno

Mister Miracle Superman Big Barda
DC Comics

There has been no bigger WTF moment than this. In 1978, The Man of Steel was the man on the reel as an adult film star. The comic equivalent of watching your dad have sex came in Action Comics #592 and #593, which saw Superman and Mister Miracle's wife nearly do the do on camera.

Stuck in a bad part of town, things go from bad to worse as Big Barda is chasing down a thief when she runs into Sleez. The villain - who later reveals he was exiled from Apokolips for being too creepy - uses his ability to corrupt Barda and enslave her as his personal sex toy. When Superman finally comes to save her, he too is hypnotised and the couple are pimped out to a XXX producer.

Luckily for them, Mister Miracle comes to their rescue, but not before suffering his own personal dose of torture. Scott gets home to find Darksied, calmly sat in an armchair holding a glass of brandy. Before he has chance to ask questions, Darkseid plays a video tape as Scott watches in horror. Furious about his beloved wife being filmed against her will, Mister Miracle tracks down Sleez's lair and busts in just before things go too far.
